Northland College has revised its academic programs as of Fall 2024. Some pages may refer to previous programs while updates are made to reflect our refocused offerings.
Dismiss Message
For personal safety as well as to maintain our buildings and grounds, Northland College has established several policies.
Northland College has a state-of-the-art notification system, E2Campus, capable of sending emergency notifications instantly and simultaneously to all registered mobile phones, wireless PDAs, pagers, smartphones, satellite phones, and e-mail addresses. Northland College students and employees are automatically registered to receive E2Campus Notifications; however, each user must log in to add personal information. This is the surest way for users to receive notifications critical to their safety and well being as well as other emergency-related campus information.
Northland College email addresses and phone lines are automatically added to the system. Users may register up to two SMS (text messaging) devices and one additional e-mail address.
Technical support is available by contacting the IT Help Desk at (715) 682-1855 or techsupport@northland.edu.
During a tornado warning, members of the Northland College community are advised to seek shelter in the lowest level interior corridor of their office building, residence hall, townhouse or theme house, and to keep away from any windows. Residents who are in the building during a tornado warning must follow procedures as directed by Northland College personnel.
If there is a power outage in a room or a common area of an on-campus building or residential unit, individuals should contact Campus Safety or Office of Residential Life immediately. Resident hall or on-campus housing power outages may be immediately reported to the corresponding RA or HRA. Do not attempt to fix or diagnose electrical issues.
If a residential unit or campus loses power, residents are encouraged to remain in their rooms and follow instructions issued by Residential Life staff. Do not use candles or other open flames for lighting. Keep a flashlight nearby.
In the event of an outage, turn off all computers, lights and appliances to avoid a surge on the system when power is restored. Ensure someone remains with any disabled persons who become stranded as a result of the outage. If additional assistance is required, contact Campus Safety.
When an alarm is sounded, it should be treated as an emergency. It is in violation of Northland College policy for any person to not respond to a fire alarm.
During an alarm:
Each term, the Office of Residential Life conducts fire drills to help residents prepare for a potential fire alarm/fire. Residents are expected to abide by the directions of the staff during fire drills and fire alarms, and in real emergency situations.
It is illegal to tamper, in any way, with firefighting equipment (extinguishers and hoses), emergency lights, exit signs, or smoke detectors. To do so unnecessarily endangers others in the event of a crisis. All violators of this policy will be prosecuted in accordance with the law. Students who reside in an area in which a smoke detector is disconnected, turned off or tampered with, causing the device to malfunction, will be referred for disciplinary action and charged for repair/replacement of the device. Each smoke detector is equipped with a battery backup. In the event that a battery charge is low, a beep will be heard. Please notify the appropriate official immediately to facilitate the changing of the battery.

The following are considered fire hazards and may not be stored or used in campus buildings, residence halls or housing units:
The possession and use of any harmful chemicals, flammable liquids/lighter fluid, firecrackers, and/or other explosives in on-campus buildings, residence halls or immediate vicinity is prohibited.
For the protection and safety of all hall residents and the campus community, rifles, shotguns, airguns, paint-ball guns, black powder guns, bows, arrows, wrist rockets, slingshots, blowguns, etc. are not allowed in residence halls or any place on campus but the designated Hunting Equipment Storage Room.
Handguns are not allowed anywhere on the Northland College campus.
All weapons must be registered with Campus Safety and must be stored in the Hunting Equipment Storage Room as directed by Campus Safety. Fireworks of any kind are not allowed anywhere on campus. Violations of any of these policies will result in disciplinary action. Please follow the guidelines for storing weapons under Fire Arm/Weapon Storage Procedure. Since Northland College is private property, all buildings have posted signs prohibiting weapons from being brought into any campus building.
Any weapon brought onto the Northland College campus grounds must be stored in the Gun Room. Guns are defined as rifles, shotguns, air guns, air soft guns, pellet guns, paintball guns, black powder guns, and BB guns. Gun regulations also apply to all strung bows, crossbows, compound bows, wrist rockets, slingshots, and blowguns.
